To restrict a user's access to a specific Mixpanel report board while still allowing them to change the date range but not modify fields, you'll need to use Mixpanel's sharing and permission features.Based on the knowledge sources, Mixpanel allows you to control who can view and edit reports in a board through permission settings. Here's how you can achieve what you're looking for: 1. Set the user as a "Viewer" of the board rather than an "Editor". Viewers can view reports but cannot save changes to them.As mentioned in the documentation:
Teammates with access to a board can either be Viewers (any changes made will not be saved) or Editors (changes made will be saved).
Sharing and PermissionWhen a user has Viewer permissions, they can still interact with the reports by changing filters, date ranges, and other parameters to explore the data, but any changes they make will not be saved to the original report. This means they can adjust the date range for their own analysis, but cannot permanently modify the report's configuration.To set these permissions: 1. Navigate to the board containing your reports 2. Click the "Share" button at the top right of the board 3. Add the user and set their permission level to "Viewer"Note that sharing and permissions are set at the board level, and all reports within that board will inherit the same permissions. If you need more granular control over specific data access, you might also want to explore Mixpanel's Data Views and Data Classification features, which are available on Enterprise plans.

but he need to able to save because we're using the insights api to retrieve that, and on our website we update that metrics dynamically from what we have on mixpanel date range.
